If you want to replace your severely damaged or missing teeth with dental implants but you’ve been told your jawbone is too thin to support them, call George A. Hoop, DDS at (239) 594-8817 to find out if mini dental implants are a good option for you!
We offer many options for restorative dentistry and so much more at both our Fort Myers, FL and our North Naples, FL locations. Whether you need to replace a single tooth or get a full-mouth reconstruction, we can help you restore your smile to its former glory!
If you are interested in getting implants to replace some of your teeth but are not yet sure if you want to follow through with treatment, visit us for a free consultation. You can ask any questions you have and hear the basics about this treatment in order to make a more informed decision.
Depending on the policy you have, there’s a good chance that dental insurance will not cover the cost of dental implants, but we accept a variety of payment options so you can still get the treatments you want. We even have a Direct Dental Savings Plan that you can enroll in and get 20 percent off of implants as well as discounts on many other treatments.

Learn Your Mini Dental Implants Options & Their Perks

Maybe you knocked out a single tooth during a freak accident. Or perhaps you’ve had oral health troubles for years and you finally want to make a big change and do something about it. No matter your particular case, we can find a restorative treatment that will work for you. We offer a few options for restoring mini implants, including:

• Dental crowns – these are used to replace individual missing teeth
• Dental bridges – if you have multiple adjacent missing teeth, this could be a good option for you
• Dentures – patients who need to replace all the teeth in their upper or lower jaw or both should definitely consider this great option

All of the restorative treatments we offer look and work great, but as far as tooth replacement options go, perhaps the closest thing to your natural teeth is dental implants. And because mini implants work just like traditionally sized ones, they offer all the same perks but in a smaller package. Our patients love dental implants because they:

• Do not require any preparation of your healthy teeth that still surround your damaged or missing teeth
• Are extremely convincing in the way they look, work, and feel
• Can last a very long time – maybe even the rest of your life – if cared for properly
• Do not restrict your diet or require any changes in your oral hygiene habits
• Can restore the vast majority of the chewing power of your natural teeth (up to 90 percent)
• Help to prevent jawbone deterioration so you won’t risk a “sunken in” look

Many patients are told that they cannot get a dental implant because their jawbone is too thin or weak. But mini implants can often be an option for these same patients. Don’t assume you can’t get implants before checking with us!
Even if you’ve been told that your jawbone is too thin for certain restorative treatments, visit Dr. George A. Hoop, DDS to find out if mini dental implants could be a great alternative for you. Call (239) 594-8817 or fill out our online form to book with us.

No matter how cautious you are or the level of care you take to keep your smile looking beautiful and in good health, there’s a very good chance that at some point in your life you’ll need to repair some dental damage. To learn about the various restorative dentistry options that can address your smile woes, call George A. Hoop, DDS at (239) 594-8817 today.
For your convenience, we have a Fort Myers, FL dentist office and a North Naples, FL dentist office. You can visit the one that is closest to you and enjoy the same quality care at either one. Our dentist, Dr. Hoop, works at both locations and has helped countless patients fix a large variety of dental problems over the years. By allowing us to repair your smile, you may be able to:

• Get relief from dental pain and discomfort
• Regain the oral function that you may have lost
• Restore the beauty of your pearly whites

Both of our locations open at 8:00 a.m. instead of 9:00 a.m. as many other dental offices do. This way, you can get an early visit and take care of your dental needs before your day truly gets underway.
We want to take the stress out of dental work and that includes the financial concerns you may have. We accept a variety of payment options, including financing through third-party companies like CareCredit and Lending Club.
If you are interested in dental implants, we can provide a free consultation so you can be better informed in making that decision. We can also give you a sneak peek of what your restored smile will look like if you want to get a full-mouth reconstruction.

Find The Restorative Dentistry Treatment That Will Fix Your Issue

If you went to a car mechanic with a muffler problem only to find out that they only know how to fix issues related to your carburetor, you’d be rightfully upset. So why would you visit a dentist that can only provide certain restorative treatments? At George A. Hoop, DDS, we do our very best to provide as comprehensive dental care as we possibly can for your convenience.
If you have a dental problem, you should try to get it taken care of as quickly as you possibly can because, if left unaddressed, your situation will likely get worse and necessitate more extensive (and expensive) treatments in the future. Here are some basics on most of the smile repair options we offer:

• Tooth fillings can help restore the shape and health of a tooth after it has developed a cavity. Because we use tooth-colored material, your filling will blend in seamlessly with the rest of your chompers.
• Root canals allow us to remove infected nerves and soft tissue (pulp) from inside a tooth so the problem doesn’t kill your tooth completely and necessitate a tooth extraction.
• Dental crowns are strong and beautiful shells that completely cap the visible portion of a tooth. They are incredibly versatile and can be used to protect and strengthen teeth that are cracked, chipped, worn-down, or exhibiting other issues.
• Dental bridges can fill the gap left by one or more adjacent missing teeth for a convincing result in form and function.
• Dentures replace several adjacent teeth or a full arch of teeth in your upper or lower jaw or both. For a good feel and look, we’ll design your dentures to exacting specifications.

For patients that need to completely replace missing teeth and want to get the closest thing to their natural chompers, we also provide options for restoring dental implants with:

• Dental crowns
• Dental bridges
• Dentures

In order to have dental implants placed, your jaw will need to be healthy, strong, and thick. That said, we also offer mini dental implants if your jaw is not quite thick enough for the traditional options.
Regardless of your particular situation, we will help you regain your smile and bite. We’ll assess your case carefully using state-of-the-art dental technology and answer any questions that you have so you can make the best choices for your smile’s future.
Let us make your smile good as new again with a variety of restorative dentistry treatments at George A. Hoop, DDS!
